I'm very sorry to hear that you were told earlier this week that a tumour had been found on your lung. It's understandable that you've been experiencing a rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions after being given this news.
It's good to hear that you've already had your PET scan and hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the results of that investigation. The results should give the doctors the information they need to be able to discuss the next steps with you and offer some reassurance about the care you will be receiving.
Were you given the details of a specialist nurse that you can contact if you have any questions or concerns? Don't be afraid to call them.
We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be really difficult. If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses before your next appointment with the specialist then you're welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on Christine. We're here for you.
Sending my best wishes, Jenn Cancer Chat moderator
